I feel the same way about Jordan as I feel about TFG - Since he is following TFG's "orders"

No, he still needs 217 votes which he is unlikely to get - and that includes Democrats

Before the election I was meeting with old friends and I said that I'd sooner vote for the next person who drives by than TFG - and they agreed with me.

He needs to be elected by the entire House, not just Republicans. He is only this week's choice by the Republicans.

(222,227 posts)6. I don't think he stands a chance, he's way too controversial
But I also hope that his nomination stands long enough for all his dirty laundry (complicit in the insurrection) to be aired across the news.
